thanks for the help yeh i am just starting to understand how to use automation..

but how can i do the same thing to more than one track? like all my drum tracks? ive only figured out how to write the automation while messing around with one track. i tried a group track but it didnt seem to do anything

turn off the dry signals. try to rout it so that your dry signal (no effects) is down -inf dB and your fx channel is 0dB for example in fruity loops i would send the tracks to the FX channel n stop the dry signal from escaping to the master

The button you clicked next to the 'on' button is the pre-fader button. Simply adjust the volume of the sends with the slider underneath the buttons (or around, wherever it is lol, I aint got SX3 open right now).

doesnt that just effect the volume that it sends to the fx channel? right now i have a bunch of tracks that are playing through the fx channel AND the master out. i want the plugin on the fx track to completely affect the tracks not only partly.

anyway ive kinda figured it out differently

if i do a group track not fx then instead of sending the tracks to it i choose 'group 1' or whatever i call it instead of the master out in the track settings - didnt notice this before
